It shall be unlawful for any person who handles milk, meat products, or other products used, sold, or offered for sale as food for human consumption, or who shall work or be employed in any barber shop, beauty parlor, soda fountain, restaurant, hotel, beer tavern, or other business, place, or activity affecting the public health, to refuse or neglect to submit to a physical examination by a duly-licensed physician for the purpose of determining if the person is infected with syphilis, venereal disease, tuberculosis, or other infectious disease when required to do so by the Board of Health. Thereafter, until the person shall provide a certificate from a physician that he or she is free from or is not a carrier of the infectious disease to such an extent as not to be adverse to the public health, it shall be unlawful for the person to handle or be employed in any shop, plant, or place of business herein mentioned. All physical examinations herein prescribed shall include laboratory tests and the results of which shall be made a part of the certificate. One copy shall be delivered to the Board of Health, who shall consider and hold the same as confidential and privileged information, except to the employer of the person if he or she is employed; provided, in any prosecution hereafter brought for violation of this section, the health certificate shall be admissible in evidence as in the case of other public records. Any physician who shall have made the physical examination leading to the issuance of the health certificate shall be called as a witness in any prosecution brought hereunder to give competent testimony as to the facts, case history, and conclusions of his or her examination. It shall be unlawful for any employer to continue to employ any person who refuses to apply for or fails to meet the health requirements of a health certificate.
